Luka Modric’s future may take an unexpected turn after the 2022 Qatar World Cup ends. At Real Madrid, they were anxiously awaiting the decision of the great Croatian, whether he was considering making his way to the European Championships in Germany in 2024 or whether he decided to withdraw from the national team, to bet or not on his renewal. Now, in Croatia, they say Modric has decided to end his time as an international player, considering the squad’s high profile in Qatar the culmination of a glorious era
At Real Madrid, they understand that Modric, without having to go to the call-ups in Croatia, can remain the key to the team, so the renewal offer will soon be on the table. Florentino Perez wants the Croatian to retire at the Santiago Bernabeu, so if Modric wants to continue playing football, he will do so wearing white, to end up hanging his boots at Real Madrid, after becoming a legend in the club
Real Madrid’s decision to renew Luka Modric, whose contract expires on June 30, will have consequences. The departure of Toni Kroos will be one of the most important, because Florentino Perez only intended to renew a veteran. And the German stigmatized, after weeks of continuous waiting without disclosing whether he wanted to continue in Madrid or not, the white club was tired of waiting for him, assuming that he had decided to leave
Another step could be the departure of Camavinga on loan, as logic indicates that the French player will remain without a position starting next season. Camavinga has already stated on several occasions that he does not think of continuing to warm the bench next season, which prompts Real Madrid to consider his departure on loan, to avoid problems, and by the way, so that he can gain experience in the elite
In fact, Real Madrid’s big goal for the next season is to sign a first-class midfielder. Number 1 on the list is Jude Bellingham, from Borussia Dortmund, who has not yet decided if he would prefer a return to the Premier League, with Liverpool as the main candidate, or if he would prefer to sign for Real Madrid. The process is due to run out between January and February, so Bellingham is running out of time
If Jude Bellingham chooses Liverpool, then Real Madrid will activate Plan B, Enzo Fernandez, who will sign the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with the Argentina national team. The midfielder, who made a great start to the season with Benfica, has shown he is ready to make the leap to the European giants and Real Madrid will do everything they can to sign him if Bellingham falters
